Personally, I recommend the "B" option as Bluestacks is very popular so if you run into any trobles using it, you can find good solutions on Google or Bing (lol).

2: Now Install the Software Emulator on your Windows PC

If you successfully downloaded the Bluestacks.exe or Nox.exe, go to your Downloads folder on your computer or anywhere you ususally store downloaded files.

App Reviews

good but needs a few changes

By Kennedy F.

It needs a few changes it’s been hard so I suppose you make it so it will have like the app downloads with games and apps and I suppose you make it download faster like taking 4 minutes or less and I suppose that you like make the games easier for little kids and a button where it says easy, hard and medium then all of the bad reports will turn into good reports I have one more change please make it so people will not have bad reports it makes me sad that the bad reports are kind of slowing down your business so if you make those changes people are going to love this app so much they would like to play it all the time so do those changes then no bad reports will send to you so do these few changes so everyone will love this app and wish that they never sent those bad reports so those will turn to good reports

Good idea, poor execution.

By Mom2Bear

For an app meant for small children, this needs a lot of work. Some of the games are super cute but my toddler can't understand what is downloaded and what isn't, and many aren't appropriate for his age so I don't want him downloading games that are too difficult and wasting data. There should be a setting where little guys can only click games that moms and dads downloaded for them.
The other issue is, at first I couldn't even figure out how to get the games. If I accidentally click on one I can't turn off he download. It won't let me delete one app at a time either. Now I can click on them but it just sits there and won't load (months have gone by and no new games load).

Where did Thomas the tank engine go…

By Caraheliza

I love this app got my three year old. He has a blast and he is learning so many essential lessons for school before he enters into kindergarten. The Sesame Street Elmo games and puppy maze game are his favorites. However Thomas the tank engine was the initial reason I downloaded the application, and approximately two months ago it disappeared. My son was very upset that he could no longer play his favorite character anymore. Can someone tell me why Thomas and friends is no longer included on the PBS app?

By 🦅🐷🐨gg

So recently I need to take game came out and I was super excited to play it as always. But when I opened it it was super slow and I didn’t know why please fix that. It says running pants will hold obstacles but I can’t because it won’t let me the arrows won’t work. So please fix that I know this might be a little harder know you make me more fun games but please try to fix something or else I will know my review rating to three stores. Thank you and goodbye.

Great, but fatal flaw needs to be fixed

By MoATX

As others have said, the max storage in the grownups area resets itself back to 500MB arbitrarily, for no reason, no matter what you’ve saved it to. It’s a shame, because otherwise, it’s an excellent app. Developers - any plans to fix this bug? Jan 20, 2018, and bug just hit us again, deleting 20games, right in the middle of playing. We LOVE PBS, but are there no plans to fix this bug?? Thank you for the response - hoping the bug gets fixed soon!

Generally well done

By NicknameTaken7

There are a few games that freeze and annoy my child and daddy has to fix it, but on the whole very appropriate and engaging activities for my youngest child. I wish the grown up settings were lockable or a separate ap. That child keeps clearing or reducing the space and wiping the downloaded games; then has a fit they are all gone. Which takes me about a half hour to redownload.

Issues with Daniel Tiger Tea Party

4

By MeganLorraine1982

My 2 year old son loves Daniel Tiger and Sesame Street and loves the games! However, every time he plays the Daniel Tiger Tea Party game, he gets frustrated and so do I. It is VERY hard to refill everyone's cups of tea with the teapot (most of the time, it just doesn’t work at all). Also, the game freezes up way too often. We’ve been playing with these games for a long time now! We love them other than the tea party game! :)

Great games but storage constantly resets

By Johns3ak

My daughter loves the games. Everything she plays has been great. I went into the grownups area to change the storage to the max of 2 gbs so she could download all of the games she plays but it constantly resets back to the 500 mbs that the app started with. It does this for no reason, sometimes while she is playing them. Every time this happens we have to re-download almost all of the games. It gets frustrating.

Max storage size of 2.0 GB not enough to store all games offline

By Csi G

This seems to be a bug. The size of the memory used to store games for offline use can be increased up to 2.0 GB. When I tried to download all games to be used offline, it starts deleting previously stored games because the 2GB is not enough to store them all. Please increase the size to 4 or 5 GB for future updates or make sure you adjust the value to match all the memory needed to store all games to be used offline with every update you do.
